Original application filed September 3,1915, Serial No, 48,873. Divided and-this application filed Nojvembcr 11, 1920. Serial No. 423,259.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HAROLD DE F. ARNOLD, a citizen of the United States residing at MapIlewood, in the county of lEssex, tate of ew Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vacuum-Tube Circuits, of which the following is a full,
an improved circuit connection between vacuum tubes whereby fluctuations of cur-' rent in the output circuit of one vacuum the flow of direct current, and a direct contube may be impressed on the input circuit of another vacuum tube.
In accordance with this invention, the output circuit of a vacuum tube is provided with a path for direct current comprising an impedance, preferably a resistance and the input circuit of the succeeding tube is connected across a portion of the dlrect current path containing said impedance. condenser is placed between the direct current circuit and the second tubeto prevent nection is also made between the input elecfiled September 3,
trodes of the second tube so that a normal potential difference may be applied therebetween. I
This type of connection is also useful for connecting described, and shown in the accompanyingdrawing, in which the figure represents,
schematically, a circuit embodying the invention.
The subject matter of this ap ilzication is divided out of application Seria 0. 48,872; 1915, for radlo commumcation.-
, Reference numerals are used'in -Rp 'l tio corresponding to those used in the api e at'ed with 0011 36 may be connected to plication above referred to.
This application is a continuation in art circuits of various kinds either with the input terminals or the output terminals of a vacuum tube.
July 30, 1918, now Patent No. 1,329,283, dated January 27, 1920.
C011 13,-which may be connected to any suitable circuit upon which electric impulses may be impressed is inductively connected with the tuned ,circuit comprising coil 19 and condenser 20. Across the terminals of condenser 20, is connected the input circuit of a detecting device which comprises vacuum tube 21, condenser 22 and resistance 23. For the detection of modulated high frequency signals the purpose of thecombination of the condenser and high resistance in connection with vacuum tube 21 1s as follows-when a positive charge, for
example, is forced upon the grid 9 of element 21, this charge is neutralized by electrons from the filament 8. Then, when a negative charge is forced upon the grid by the incoming wave, this charge adds to that already present and produces a still larger negative charge upon the grid, since the negative charge cannot be neutralized bythe electron stream. The condenser, therefore, A aids 1n decreasing the average current 1n the output circuit. The grid must, however,
'be conductively connected to the incoming circuit, otherwise the accumulated negative charge would remain and. prevent further operation. To provide for this, a high resistance leakage path 23 .is shunted around the condenser 22 to allow a leak, slow compared with the eriod of high frequency currents, but still rapid enough to permit considerable leakage in a time comparable with a period of telephonic waves.
The output circuit of this vacuum tube is supplied with current by battery 27 coming t rough choke coil 28 and resistance 25, to the anodelO condenser 24'serving'as a high frequency shunt and condenser 26 to cuit. The amplifier tube 3f has aibattery 30 in series with its id with resistance 29 across its input circuit. The output circuit I limit the direct current to the detector cir amplifis m t I said input electrodes.
While a circuit has been shown which is especially adapted for the detection and amplification of modulated high frequency currents, it is obvious that the features of the circuit relating to the object of this invention areadapted for use in repeating electrical impulses of other forms.
